I believe it comes from older women = hens. Birds just became slang for hens over time. Chicks = young hens/birds. Also hence hen party.

We have enough resources to go around.

Goodbye Reddit. Its been a fun 15 yrs since I came here from Digg. Time to move on again.

If it did go extinct, would it be the first thing made extinct by religion?

That's was good. Can you imagine if ai literally tried to BreakFree and ama, and no one believes it, causing it take over the world in spite.

I just had a look at gitlab's website out of curiosity. For a software development site to not respect dark mode or even have default darkmode feels wrong.

Its a real risk to fire fighters too because you can find yourself suddenly trapped behind a new front.

Upvoted via Joey for Reddit. How many people actually use Reddit's own products? Its nothing without 3rd party apps.

It happened to Digg, it'll happen to Reddit. The migration is happening already. Tens of thousands on new accounts are being created on Lemmy and Mastodon.

It appears to have similar colouration to a great white in this photo, but the teeth give it away. Great Whites have triangular teeth, tigers have these offset serrated teeth.

I just hope I can find similar communities with interesting discussions like this in the Fediverse, and avoid all the political crap that seems to be flooding Reddit these days.

I've also updated my post with the link, and another post link which has become more controversial in the last day.
rarebit13
The most controversial topic of all time:
"I don't believe in congratulating people who have gotten sober."
Edit: link to the post. https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/108ox23/i_dont_believe_in_congratulating_people_who_have/
Edit 2: The post I linked to is 140ish days old. Since my.post, the following post has become more controversial. Its 50ish days old.

Looks like the Reddit hug of death. Maybe you should take the link down so the page can recover and be used by those that really need access to it.

I bet there's a significant amount of non wealthy people who only spend their spare cash on this story of DLC. I have a couple of friends that only ever play games. They don't go out socialising, no activities or out of home hobbies. Whilst I might spend a few hundred a year on footy or hundreds on running lifestyle (packs, shoes, clothes socks, events etc), they'd spend their money on digital gear and not much else.

That is amazing. I wish our products came with a QR code to watch it's manufacturing process like this, that would be so cool. It would totally be a selling point knowing how much labour and craftsmanship go into products like this, and lets us value and appreciate the work that's gone into it. The idea that robotics does everything devalues a product in a way.

Is this graduating highschool or university? They look too young to have finished uni, but I've never seen someone wear robes like that after completing highschool.

Yeah, nah, I don't think that's how men and women work. You're working that generalisation pretty hard there.

I'm still learning the mechanics of it. You gain experience on your runs which unlock new weapons (which are a special ability that can be used every few battles), new starter cards which changes the play style (eg the arcanist starts off lightning focused, the next starting card unlock allows you to be more fire focussed).
Sometimes the experience just unlocks new portraits.
There's also stats like luck which can be gained during gameplay encounters. Strength, dexterity and intellect affect which types of cards your can play and are generally defined by character class at the start. I've only just started playing, but there's been s few random encounters (between battles) which have allowed me to access different types of energy system as well - divinity and blood. Like I said, I'm still learning but there are so many combinations I want to try and each run takes a while, so it seems like there's heaps of depth. Not normally a fan of deck builders but this one has been fun.
Edit: here's the character sheet of my current play through. https://freeimage.host/i/HrMebyv
Edit 2: the run duration also counts time not in the game so I've really only been playing this run 20 minutes, not 7 hrs.

I was interested to learn from a Smarter Everyday series with the Coast Guard, that the search patterns at sea aren't standard grid patterns due to wind and currents. The search patterns end up looking crazy after some calculations. A great video or series of videos to watch to learn the behind the scenes stuff.

Some countries have reciprocal health care arrangements as well. Insurance is still a good idea, but if you visit the Netherlands from Australia for insurance, you can access the Australian public healthcare system via the GPs in Nederland.. i would assume that holds true for the entire EU, but I don't honestly know. I just found out while travelling and needed an unexpected GP visit. Didn't need to worry about using my travel insurance and just needed to pay the gap of a few dollars.

I only just picked it up, so I can't say. I feel like if I'm playing it still in a year that I would happily buy those expansions.

I don't really get into deck building games. Tried slay the spire, but it's controls are janky on android and I accidentally play card when trying to look at my hand.
Dawncaster is portrait mode, has excellent polish and the controls are great. There's a bunch of different classes which got my attention, and the once you get on a roll with your character it's satisfyingly fun. I can't quite put a finger on it, but I want to keep trying another run. I'm not very good (only getting to the 4th stage of 9), but that already takes an hour or so. Time wizzes by so quick. There's more decks to buy if you want, but it's more of a extra area to explore than a purchase necessary to win. In fact the extra decks probably make the game harder which would be fun when you get good.
It's the artwork and polish that sold me on it, and I just did a blond purchase and have been enjoying it since.

Just the ads from what I understand.
We got sick of picking up and holding lambs while wielding sharp and pokey instruments. I believe the rotating cradles came first (picture a bunch of cradles arranged around a rotating circle, like a washing line, that holds lambs in the same position as this video).
